If you like being on the water, and want to build a boat for the rest of the year, with about the same amount of effort as building a cardboard boat, you could make a PDRacer sailboat. Basically a plywood box with a curved bottom - but it can last 10 or 15 years of regular use if you take care of it. For more info, see PDRacer.com
